I just received an e-mail from the New York Times inviting me to try the new Times Reader software. Of course I didn't waste any time and went ahead to install it. Rather than talking too much I made a few screenshots for you. Some things worth mentioning:

Times Reader runs on the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which is built into the new Vista operating system

Windows XP users need to install Dot Net 3.0 Fundamentals first (which happens automatically when you run the Times Reader installer)
